According to Cadena SER, Kylian Mbappé was absent from Real Madrid's training facilities to recover after leaving the French national team camp due to a knee injury sustained during the international break. However, he subsequently appeared at various events in France and elsewhere, reigniting debate about the French star's attitude and his leadership status in Real Madrid's dressing room.

During Cadena SER's "El Larguero" program, several commentators analyzed Mbappé's recent schedule. Reporter Antonio Romero clarified that Mbappé was not "injured" but rather "feeling unwell." The issue is that when professional players experience such discomfort, they typically recover at their club rather than seek treatment elsewhere, as it doesn't require specialized medical intervention or doctors outside their trusted circle.

Cadena SER's commentators noted that the club had already confirmed Mbappé was granted permission to leave the Spanish capital with no objection. However, the problem is that "if you speak to people in Real Madrid's dressing room," while "they aren't shocked," they are somewhat surprised because "they've never seen a player aspiring to be a leader in Real Madrid's dressing room display the attitude Mbappé has shown over the past two seasons." Furthermore, this situation also impacts Mourinho, as "all eyes are now directly on Mourinho's press conference on Friday."

Focus on Mourinho

Romero noted that what the Portuguese coach says at that press conference "will be a message to his other teammates in the dressing room, and everyone will see how Mourinho handles a player who is unwell and recovering elsewhere rather than at Valdebebas." Therefore, he has the opportunity "to speak about what he thinks of Mbappé's situation and send a message to the dressing room, and the players will pay close attention to this." The reporter believes that "if Mbappé doesn't receive a clear public or private warning from the coach, it could set a bad example for the dressing room, because the season is very long."

Meanwhile, Javi Herráez emphasized that the club is not concerned about a bicycle incident or what Mbappé specifically did in recent days. Their main concern is the team's competitive situation. Real Madrid's leadership believes that "Mourinho needs to do more" because "Real Madrid is facing football-related problems, and they won't go far playing like this." They interpret Mbappé's behavior as his personal style, meaning "he is naturally like this," and the club "is increasingly getting to know him better." However, the team's performance is what they believe requires urgent attention.

He's the best player but not a leader

"Mbappé is Real Madrid's best player, but I wouldn't even rank him in the top three candidates for leadership in the dressing room," commented Manu Carreño. Although he emphasized Mbappé's excellence on the pitch, "in terms of team leadership, dressing room presence, and other aspects, I would rank him very low." However, he believes Mbappé himself may not be interested in taking on this role. Despite external pressure that he should be a leader, it may be Mbappé's own belief that his job is to score goals, which he does exceptionally well. "For those questioning whether Mbappé came to be a leader, I think it's becoming increasingly clear that Mbappé came to play football, and he plays it very well; he came to score goals, and he does it better than anyone; but in terms of being a team leader or role model, he's far from that," he explained.

The host illustrated his point clearly with a comparison, saying he increasingly feels Mbappé is "like a guitarist with a concert next Saturday at the Bernabéu. He arrives, opens his case, pulls out his guitar, plays a stunning solo that electrifies the Bernabéu, and leaves" until his next performance. The problem is this doesn't work for every concert—sometimes his guitar might be out of tune. And that's the main issue with Mbappé: nobody questions his quality, but his attitude and role in the dressing room and at the club are highly questioned.
